Some of us have New Year’s Resolutions, and some of us act on them! Lier of the Ikat Bag blog is missing her teaching days, so she’s done a fabulous series on the nuts and bolts of how to make a bag. She’s up to Chapter 3: Integrated Straps and if you’re interested in sewing at all, I highly recommend you check out the series of posts for the fantastic step-by-step photos and detailed tips for having it turn out beautifully. This is the perfect way to take your skills up a notch if you’re a beginning or early intermediate sewer.
